Visit to Monterrey

Well we are back from our trip to Monterrey. Although it was short, it was very enjoyable. We had a very good visit with family and made an unexpected trip to Concha(Concepcion del Oro), my fathers' birthplace. Mexico is very festive during this time of year. There are many "Perigrinaciones" through out the country. Perigrinaciones are groups of people dressed up in native indian costume making processions to local churches. They ususally walk very long distances to pay homage to the Virgen de Guadalupe. Added our pics in several links starting with making a Pinata thru Viaje a Concha. Enjoy.

Thanksgiving '08

We had Thanksgiving at Aunt Sandy's House this year. As usual on this ocassion the food was again fantastic with everyone eating more than anyone should. Thanks to a quick nap we were able to recover to attack again. And how about all the pies. Pumpkin, Peach (yum), peacan and last of all Apple. On top of all this, Sandy was also planning a Bridal shower for Melissa on Saturday. Thanks to Leroy and Sandy for hosting us this year.
